Tesco pricing - Action man figures
By Value hunter on Feb 6, 2010 | In Money chat, Bad business, Frugal wars, Thrifty shopping
The new "armed forces" action man figure (they always were armed forces!) that were selling in Asda and Tesco before Christmas, for £15.00 (same price? How unusual... *monopoly* disguised as price matching - both equally over priced!) are now being sold at Tesco for £8.75 each.
"Helping customers to spend less" is the slogan that's plastered everywhere in store.
If they can sell the product at this price now and make a profit on it, it just shows what their profit margin was when the same stock was on sale for £15.00 in the run up to Christmas!
Good value, is only good value when the price to the customer reflects the cost of buying in the item to the seller.
Good value is not, what supermarket's want us to think, when their prices compare only to another supermarket!
Profit wise, "every little helps" should have Tesco put at the end of it!
